I have the 2003 Expedition with 50,000 miles on it. The owners manual says you can shift from 2H to A4WD and 4WD while on the go. The manual says you can expect to hear a clunk when you do so. I do not like to do it because the clunk is very loud and disturbing to me. The dealers have said that is the nature of the beast. I do not think that is true in later models, at least I would hope not.

I have done it like 3 different times switching from 2W to 4H and I never here a clunking sound jus the normal smooth engage sound. Granted all 3 times its been under 30mph..

Mine makes a loud clunking sound at any speed and the owners manual says it is normal. I don't think it's right, but it always has made the sound. I must say I have had a lot of problems with this vehicle since the day I left the lot in February of 2003. I like the expedition but the number of issues has been very bothersome.

Man sorry to here that bro.. But yea the clunking sound defiantly not right I don't care what the manual or the Dealer says..
Even my wife's 03 F150 engages on the fly with no clunking sound.
Heck I can barely even here it engage.
But I never van feel it engage.
Now when I come to a stop and put it n (N) and engage 4L then I feel and can here the clunking sound but same on my wife's truck so I'm sure that's a normal..

The clunking sound you get going into 4WD low, I get in the others while on the move. I have had a total clunker from day 1. No a happy camper!!!!!
